Need a breakfast recipe for summer squash

[Morticia]

I'd like to do it as a side with quiche. Any ideas?

 

[EmptyNest]

I just slice it up, add some tomato chunks, season with salt, pepper and some oregano, add a dot with a bit of butter and then cover it with parmesan cheese. Nuke it for just a few minutes. I don't like mushy squash. Simple and easy to do.

Not for breakfast. But you can make squash bread (like zucchini bread). People are funny about squash (it is one of my favs).
Or you can saute it up with onions and red bell and potatoes. But that would be simply to add it or sneak it in.

Remember I have told the story about how the POs told me what was in the breakfast and I said I couldn't eat summer squash so she took it out? And then served it to me the next 2 times we were here? I thought a little julienned squash with some herbs would be nice as a side. El's recipe sounds yummy. Then you can eat it or not, rather than having it in the quiche. I have a LOT of squash. So I may just try some bread also. Thx.

I'm a very adventurous person when it comes to food. And I would pass on squash as a side dish at breakfast. But if it was in the quiche or frittata, that would be a different story. I don't know why....
Just like I don't particularly care for grapes at breakfast. haha!
In a bread would be great. Love the zucchini bread!
Most of the time the beautiful tomatoes that I slice as a garnish sometimes for savory dishes get left.

I am like you, I would put the squash in the quiche, but not serve it on the side for breakfast. Squash as a side dish doesn't appeal to me for breakfast either. Zuchinni bread however certainly does.

I've been using zucchini & summer squash in frittatas and omelets all summer, and it's always popular; and Hubby & I eat it as a side with dinner frequently.
I can't say I've thought of it as a side for breakfast before but I guess I would either do it as a quick saute (sliced in half-moons and tossed briefly in a hot pan with a bit of olive oil & thinly sliced shallots) or grilled. I know you're not going to fire up the bbq at breaky, but grilled summer squash is great warm or at room temp. Slice lengthwise in half, brush with olive oil (and maybe a little balsamic vinegar if you feel like it), sprinkle with salt & pepper, then grill over medium-high until you get nice grill marks on both sides. Bring to room temp before serving or reheat in a low oven.

You just hit my all time favorite way to have squash. Grilled with a dash of olive oil and basalmic and pepper. I actually made this with YELLOW zucchini (not yellow squash)I bought at our farmer's market and it was to die for! I am going back monday to see if the dude has any more from his garden.
I don't bring to room temp I just toss it down my dial.
The other half (it was a huge zucchini) I steamed and threw into some spaghetti bolognese.

Sorry, when I said bring to room temp, I meant if Bree grills the zucchini the night before, she can refrigerate it overnight then bring to room temp (or reheat in a low oven) for breakfast service.
I love just about any veggie on the grill!

We had a lot of it for dinner tonight. Hubs filled the plates and I went to take a bite, it looked SO good, and I realized, NO, I can't eat this, it makes me sick. Oh well. His daughter is here with dh and gs (grandson). We put them up at a different inn, we're full and it's easier this way. Summer, I tell ya. No time for family to visit.

Made this today! I even tried it and I didn't get sick! (From eating the squash, my cooking isn't THAT bad.) It definitely needed more time to cook and I did squeeze out a lot of moisture first, which leads to this question...do I measure the squash before or after squeezing? I had 2 cups prior to squeezing and 1 cup after. I went with the 1 cup and adjusted everything else so I got 3 small muffin pans. It tastes fine, but still wondering about that measurement. Also, did not sift. I was in a hurry.

 

[JunieBJones (JBJ)]

I would say measure AFTER the big squeeze.
